Broadway Dance Center: Takes on Theater Dance Video
Eugene Fleming: Enjoy the
innovative choreography of Eugene Fleming whose Broadway career spans more
than a decade. This Savoy Strut is a combination which captures the very
essence of theatre dance. The Strut is reminiscent of the 1940's when
Harlem was in its heyday. Its smooth, sleek, tight movements allow the
dancer to express the exuberance of the era. This choreography is best
suited for the beginner to intermediate dancer. Danny Herman: Danny Herman
teaches a classic jazz combination that is a tribute to the legendary Jack
Cole, the choreographer who virtually invented the theatrical jazz dance
idiom. Mr. Cole developed an entirely personal mode of jazz-ethnic-ballet
that prevails as the dominant look of and technique for American show
dance. Jack Cole's unmistakable style endures in the work of Gwen Verdon,
Bob Fosse, Jerome Robbins, Gower Champion, Peter Gennaro, Michael Bennett,
Matt Maddox, Tommy Tune and countless dancers and choreographers. Develop
your knowledge, skill, discipline, enthusiasm, stamina, body strength and
understanding of comedic movement. This choreography is suited for the
intermediate to advanced dancer. Andy Blankenbuehler: A Vaudeville
Charleston is a dynamic theatre dance style incorporating the energy and
performance of classic musical comedy. This dance, choreographed by Andy
Blankenbuehler, focuses on personifying the sharp, humorous and exciting
accents and rhythms of this particular period of music. Isolating tight
drum hits, lengthening through the long wail of a trombone, or shaking to
match the syncopation of a piano run, this choreography offers the dancer
a clear blueprint for building an exciting performance from the 1920's.
This choreography is best suited for the intermediate to advanced dancer.
